Here are the latest Whispers we're hearing from our sources throughout the NFC:
• Cowboys special-teams coordinator Joe DeCamillis is receiving attention for soon-to-be vacant head-coaching positions. For years, he has been regarded as a future head coach, whether on the college or pro level, and this could be his first serious crack at getting interviews.

This board sometimes amazes me... I don't pay attention to coaches and all I know about them is what I read from the members on here. I became excited about Joe D coming here based on how many of the members here were saying good things about him. Well, here we are a few years later with a team that has underachieved on several fronts several times and everone is now no longer enamored with the special teams coach.

I understand that special teams can make a difference in a game but my issue is that the people on here will turn on a person associated with the Cowboys organization like a pack of rabid Dobermans if they don't live up to their expectations. Funny, I have seen this team fail on ALL teams and some say its the coaching and some say its the players. I don't know which one it is but it seems since some of the players have been released this team is finding an identity, a small one but it is a beginning.

I don't know who Dallas will get to replace him or whoever else they let go of or who just moves on but until this team learns how to win it doesn't matter who coaches because it will always be the same result.

I have never seen a popular special teams coach. Special teams players just aren't as good as offensive and defensive players. This causes fans to be perpetually disappointed in special teams units.

But, no one likes it when the team persues players just for special teams, so that leaves no one to blame but the coach. That includes Avezzano. Sometimes people get nostalgic for a certain coach later, but it's just that, nostalgia.
